Establishes program within veterans' memorial homes to provide support to families of residents.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs to create a program within state veterans' memorial homes that provides direct support to family members of residents. The program, administered by each home's resident advocate, offers two key services: (1) timely information on health updates, benefits, financial aid, and community resources upon request, and (2) counseling services including in-home support and referrals to external providers. It specifically defines "family members" as spouses, domestic partners, civil union partners, or children (biological, adopted, or half-blood) of residents who are New Jersey residents. The program must be implemented within 90 days of enactment, placing support services directly at the veterans' homes to improve accessibility.
